Step-by-step explanation:Let number of 49 cents =A

                                             Let number of 33 cents=B

<u>A+B=45    equation 1</u>

1 $=100 cents

49 cents =.49 dollar

33 cents=.33 dollar

so .<u>49A+.33B=17.89    equation 2</u>

Add equation 1 and equation 2

since these are simultaneous equations

.49A+.33B=17.89

     A+     B=45

so divide equation 2 by 100 we get

49A+33B=1789

    A+B     =45 multiply equation 1 by 33 on both the sides we get

<u>33A+33B=1485     equation 3</u>

so subtract equation 3 from equation 2 we get

49A+33B=1789  equation 2

<u>33A+33B=1485    equation 3</u>

<u>16A+0      =304</u>

16A=304

A=304/16

A=19

putting nalue of A in equation 1 we get

A+B=45

19+B=45

B=45-19

B=26

so number of 49 cent stamps are 19

and number of 33 cent stamps are 26

What is the average rate of change of the amount of the element over the 10-minute experiment? *
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

-2.7  g/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a graph

To find: the average rate of change of the amount of the element over the 10-minute experiment

Solution:

A rate of change of one quantity with respect to another quantity is known as rate of change. If y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable then average rate of change = change in y /change in x.

From the graph,

change in x (time) = 10-0=10 minutes

change in y ( amount of the element) = 3.22-30=-26.78 g

So, average rate of change = \frac{-26.78}{10} =-2.7  g/min

The equation for the quadratic variation is:
y = kx^2
Plug in x and y values to solve for 'k'
32 = k(2^2)
32 = 4k
k = 32/4 = 8
